KZN U12B HOCKEY REPRESENTATIVES
FROM THE DESK OF THE PRINCIPAL
Over half-way through the month of May, which now leaves 27 school days
remaining until break up day on Friday, 24th June. I also remind you now that
Thursday, 16th June is a Public Holiday and Friday, 17th June has also been
declared a school holiday, which will allow for a long weekend from the
Wednesday. Please note though that there are rugby fixtures versus Trinity
House from Johannesburg on that Wednesday afternoon. I also remind all Dads of the Father’s
Day Assembly at 07h45 on that morning of Wednesday, 15th June.
STAFF NEWS:
I inform you that, I in my capacity as Sharks Primary Schools Rugby Chairman will be co-
ordinating the Inter-District festival for the Provincial Trials this Thursday and Friday, here in
Durban. The following week I will accompany the selected Sharks Primary Schools teams to the
Inter Provincial tournament in Bloemfontein for Thursday and Friday. Please note that whilst I am
away on official schools/provincial duty that the school will be under the direction of our
Deputies, Mr Naidoo and Mrs van der Walt. Thank you.
MOTHER’S AND CHILD EVENING
This event was held last Wednesday evening in our Pre-Primary. It was a roaring success with
probably our biggest attendance recorded. Congratulations Mothers on this fantastic turn-out
and wonderful spirit noted through your participation with your child. My sincere appreciation and
vote of thanks go to all the staff members involved, as well as our ‘captain’ of the team, Mrs Lynn
Mason, for a superb and memorable evening. It was so encouraging to see the smiling faces of our
‘little people’ enjoying an evening here with Mom. A proudly Fairways/Northlands event!
NPS U9 RUGBY/NETBALL FESTIVAL
Congratulations to our Rugby and Netball teams who excelled in their efforts at our own festival
hosted here last Friday evening, which catered for 15 rugby teams and 12 netball teams. The field
was packed with enthusiastic coaches, staff and respective school supporters, which really added
to the excitement of the evening. We, as the hosts, can take a bow for the outstanding attention
to detail noted in our hosting arrangements, namely catering, officiating, presentation of the
fields, smooth running of the programme, staff involvement in all areas, etc. The spotlight must
also fall directly onto our JP Sports Co-Ordinator, Miss Murch, for her dedicated service noted in
the planning beforehand and the overall running of the event, as well as to Mr Boucher, George and
the Grounds Staff for the layout and presentation of our facilities.
A very proudly Northlands event!
JP SPEECH AND DRAMA
Next week highlights one of the most important annual events on our Year Planner – the Speech
and Drama week where all Junior Primary classes present a class Choral Verse and selected
individual items to the Adjudicator from the Speech and Drama Society. Our results have always
been of the highest level and I again look forward to our combined standards of excellence
throughout each grade and the JP phase. Final practising and preparations are taking place, but
please share with your child the value and important role that he/she is required to play in their
class or individual efforts. Public Speaking and the confidence and “team-work” involved in events
like this are again of paramount importance at our school in developing our children in all areas.
Best wishes to all the learners, staff and parents for the week, as well as to Mrs Watling, the
overall co-ordinator for the JP Speech and Drama festival. Please note that the Speech and
Drama morning of presenting selected items, as well as each Choral Verse per grade, will take
place for you to enjoy on:
Tuesday 7th June
08h00 – Grade 1
09h00 – Grade 2
10h30 – Grade 3
Mrs Brown (JP HOD) will send more information shortly.
Remember: “It’s not the going out of port, but the coming in, that

FROM THE DESK OF THE DEPUTY PRINCIPAL
LATE COMING
Instances of late coming have been on a sharp increase over the past week.
Learners arriving late for school are detained in the Barbara Franken hall for
the first half hour. The onus is on the learner to catch up on the missed lesson.
The learner serves a further break detention for being late for three times or more.
Please ensure that your child presents himself/herself at school by not later than 07h20 so that
he/she can be settled for the start of the school day. Your co-operation in this matter is
appreciated.
SCHOOL SAFETY AND DRUG AWARENESS PRESENTATION
The school safety and drug awareness presentation by the South African Police (Durban North
Branch) will be held as follows:
Date: Thursday 26th May 2016
Venue: Barbara Franken Hall
Time: 18h00
All parents are most welcome to attend as the information shared will be most informative.
Please note that this evening is for adults only.

FROM THE DESK OF THE ACTING DEPUTY PRINCIPAL
GIRL’S DRESS CODE:
There are a number of our girls with very short dresses. Thank you to the
parents who have responded to dress code letters by taking down the hems of
their daughter’s dresses. Please note that dresses may be worn just above the knee or on the
knee.
There will be ongoing uniform inspections to ensure that all learners are neatly turned out, at all
times.
U9 SPORTS FESTIVAL
We had a huge number of players and their families playing and supporting on Friday evening. My
thanks go to Miss Murch for successfully co-ordinating the function.
MID-YEAR STANDARDISED TESTING
Our mid-year tests begin with the Grade 7’s next week. I urge all of our senior primary learners
to make this testing time a priority. Early preparation in all learning areas will ensure a positive
outcome.

MOTHER AND CHILD EVENING 2016 –
Thank you so much to every mum and child who came to enjoy the evening with us. We loved seeing
the special interactions and time spent creating something together. The items made, were lovely
and we hope they will be treasured as a memory of precious time together. Thank you for all the
eats, and the laughter. We really appreciate the positive feedback we received from many of you
as well.
MARK ALL CLOTHES AND ALL SHOES, SOCKS, JACKETS PLEASE! Check lost property

ACADEMIC REPORT
Although there is only one week left before the
commencement of exams, there has been no
slowing down with regards to work being done in
class.
Unfortunately, there seem to be numerous bugs being spread through the school, with both
learners and teachers falling victim to them. If your child is showing any signs of not feeling
well, please medicate ASAP in order to prevent absenteeism from school. In the event of your
children being away from school, please remind them to speak to the teachers on their return
to find out what work has been missed. This especially applies to subjects which are taught by
any specialist teacher, other than the class-teacher. It is difficult for a specialist teacher to
keep up with all the children that are absent in various classes and ensure that they have all
the work that was missed for the days that they were absent.
I hope that the preparations for exams are going well, with study timetables that were
planned being followed every day, ensuring that your children are adequately prepared in order
to achieve to the best of their ability.

objections to your child being photographed for these purposes, please email
[email protected] or alternatively contact Mrs V McAvoy on 031 5642369.
Thank you for the ongoing support that our bread tags initiative receives. It seems at least once
a week we are receiving large quantities of tags which is heart-warming and they are so
appreciated. The collection of bread tags by the Pre Primary and Main school is an ongoing
initiative. Please send in any bread tags to Mrs Winter at reception. Every tag counts and the
more we receive the more people we are able to assist in obtaining wheel chairs.

7000 from Makro recently, all you need to do is ensure your existing card is linked to the School
initiative. If you are unsure please contact me via email.
